THE BETHEL UNIVERSITY Thursday, February 16, 2006 http://bethelnet.bethel.edu/clarion Volume 81 • Number 15 'First Lady of Civil Rights' passed away Thousands honor her life and the legacy she left By Christina Pajak 'Coretia Scon King, the wife of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., passed away on Jan. 30 due to ovarian cancer and the after effects of a stroke. After carrying on her husband's legacy for almost forty years since his death, King died at the age of 78. An estimated 10,000 people attended the six-hour funeral al New Birth Missionary Bapiist Church in Georgia, where her daughter Bernice gave the eulogy. Some of the speakers and musicians who paid tribute to her were President Bush; Former Presidents Clinton, Carter, and Bush Sr.; Rev. Jesse Jackson; poet Maya Angelou; and Stevie Wonder. During the national broadcast of the funeral, President Bush said, "Coretta Scott King nol only secured her husband's legacy. She built her own." Former President Clinton urged the crowd to remember King was not jusl an icon, but a human being; and Sen. Hillary Clinton reminded the crowd that the responsibility to lake up her burden belongs to all of us. Coretta Scott King was bom on April 27, 1927 in Hei- bcrger, Ala. While studying concert singing at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, she met Martin Luther King Jr. They married on June 18, 1953, moved to Alabama, and were soon caughi up in ihe modern civil rights movement. Sometimes called the "first lady of the civil rights movement", King knew that when she married Martin Luther King Jr. she was not only marrying a man, but lhat she was marrying "a vision and a destiny." Professor William Johnson of the political science department at Belhel said that her role as a wife was one of the many great things she did. "Just being there for him, and giving her husband the support and encouragement he needed was a greal thing." When her husband was assassinated in 1968, King did not let it slow her down. About four days afler the tragic event, she marched with the same group of striking sanitation workers in Memphis that Dr. King had been supporting when he was killed there. Around lhaL same time she began to outline her vision for The Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent and Social Change, which she hoped would serve as a living- memorial to her husband and continue his vision. In 1981, the multimillion-dollar center opened, housing his tomb and helping to spread Dr, King's philosophy and visions. Professor Cuniss DeYoung, associate professor for reconciliation studies, feels that the center is one of the effective works she did to help build a bridge between the races. He also hopes that her death can remind us all of the "commitment needed to reach reconciliation." Coretta Scott King also campaigned to have a national holiday designated for her husband. In 1986, Jan. 15 was officially recognized as Martin Luther KingJr Day. Only two olher Americans have had the honor of a national holiday-—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln—which is now paid tribute ihrough Presidents Day. Anti-Val gave students a whole new perspective on Valentine's Day Student Life seeks new means to engage student leaders By David M. Miller It is hard for a student to miss all of the leadership opportunities and events going on at Bethel this spring. So il is no surprise that Student Life has launched a new way for sludents to sharpen their leadership skills and communicate with olher student leaders. But what is surprising is the type of opportunity that Student Life has created for student leaders: a leadership blog with all the bells and whistles. But why the addition to Bethel's already heavily stacked leadership lineup? "Students are always on Facebook or MySpace," said Nathan Freeburg, associate director for leadership development and new student orientation in Student Life, and the blog's architect. "Siudenis cling to cyber media. And I'd been wanting to do something more with the leadership stuff that we do." With part of the equation vision and the other part tech- "Stuclents often think of a leader as one particular type of person, usually an RA or BSA person. But we have student leaders in all sorts of different places at Bethel." -Nathan Freeburg nology, the calculus produced Bethel's first interactive leadership blog. The blog provides a place where student leaders can dialog, propose questions and share stories, - comments, and experiences with each other. But _\ it doesnt stop there.
